I had the surgery Monday and the checkup Tuesday. And there is definite improvement to my sight. It's still not good, but I can make out objects and some details now. It's about like my eyesight in my good eye but without my glasses on. Wth the extra distortion of the scarring and wrinkled cornea from the stitches. Once the inflammation goes down and the stitches are removed, cut feels like my vision won't be too bad compared to what I'm used to even without the lens.
But it was an interesting experience. Fully awake and aware of time, but just enough anesthesia to be calm. After the shot to numb my eye, I couldn't feel a thing, but I could see the occasional shadow of the utensils removing the lens material. There would be a tweezer shaped shadow appear and grab a little squiggle that would move as it was pulled away. They had some music playing, so I just layed back for about 40-45 minutes and listened. I'm glad they weren't playing country or bluegrass or I would've been tempted to sing and dance along. I've been trying to figure out what there cutter was since they would say to turn it on and I could hear a humming sound. I'm guessing it was a laser. It was definitely an interesting experience that wasn't unpleasant at all until the numbing medicine wore off over night. Now it's the long wait until I get a new lens.
